Michael Sandel's lectures on justice

. . . can be found here. These are mandatory viewing for anyone interested in the topic. Sandel has long been known as an original and insightful philosopher, but his lectures are genuinely world class (and so a great model for those preparing their first lectures on any topic).

Of course, Michael Sandel is a founding editorial board member of the Journal of Moral Philosophy, everyone's favourite journal of moral, political, and legal philosophy . . . .

About Me

I'm Professor of Law and Government at Durham University's Law School. I'm also Associate Member of the Philosophy Department. I'm originally from New Haven, Connecticut and currently a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School. I've previously held visiting positions at Oxford, St Andrews and Uppsala and previously taught at Newcastle University. I'm founding editor of the Journal of Moral Philosophy which I started in 2003 while a graduate student.

My current research interests are immigration law and policy (esp citizenship) and sentencing law and policy (esp theories of punishment and the use of sentencing guidelines). I'm also working on the capabilities approach and global justice as well as my longstanding interests in the work of Hegel and the British Idealists.
